Global Learning Programme Scotland makes big impact

Almost six thousand teachers across Scotland have been reached through the Global Learning Programme Scotland, funded by the Department for International Development.

The three-year programme, designed to equip teachers with the skills to teach global citizenship effectively in the classroom, reached over 1,500 of Scotland's schools to date - some 59% of Scotland's schools, demonstrating real impact.

Initatives have included innovative face-to-face learning sessions covering a variety of topic areas, including numeracy & literacy, rights, food inequality, Fair Trade and political literacy and a new online course Introduction to Global Citizenship - a core part of Learning for Sustainability, designed to ensure access for teachers in more remote areas.

IDEAS has also carried out, as part of GLP-S, STEM specific workshops linked to Sustainable Development Goals; teacher networks and sharing sessions; in-depth Practitioner Enquiry impact sessions; the publication of Stride online magazine, including ready-made resources; and the creation of Signposts - a dedicated website full of tried and tested resources and learning materials.

IDEAS is also planning a series of Young Citizen Advocate events this year, led by young people and linked to the Year of Young People 2018 in Scotland.
